This article reminded me a lot of my own schooling. I was always in the middle and worked hard to learn because I liked learning. My sister was a champion at the game of school she played it so well that she later got accepted into an ivy league college. She cheated on assignments and often only did the homework for one class and swapped with a friend for the other classes homework. She joined all the clubs that required one meeting a month of attendance. She padded her resume and she played the game well. After she got into school I realized that I needed to play the game better so I started to cheat and get around doing work just like her. I lost my love of learning. I am trying to find it at URI but it is so hard when things like reading the material don’t matter because the teacher goes over it in class or taking the online test twice so you know all the answers. Showing up to class, halfheartedly listening and doing some homework all just was that I work to try to make the grade and GPA. I want. The only class were I didn’t play the game was art. This class I really enjoyed and I truly loved learning. Even papers in this class I did and learned from this is because I truly loved the class. Maybe if there were more classes that student liked then there would be less time to play the game of school.
